A hidden gem by Mr.Children whose acoustic warmth seeps into the heart.

This song, which celebrates the happiness found in everyday scenes, is captivating for its simple band sound stripped of flashy ornamentation.

The imagery drawn by Kazutoshi Sakurai—like a voice resonating from behind—carries a realism that feels close to the listener’s daily life.

Released to the world in November 2006 as the B-side to the single “Shirushi,” it quietly gained support among fans even as the title track became a hit as the theme song for the NTV drama “14-year-old Mother.” Later included on the album “B-SIDE” and even given a music video, it possesses a presence that far exceeds that of a mere B-side.

When you want to savor the preciousness of peaceful days, give it a listen.

NTT DoCoMo’s 2003 commercial song.

When I listen to this track, I start to wonder: how is the current me different from my childhood self? Am I the person I imagined I’d be back then? Have I become just a cog in society and lost sight of myself? It makes me feel like I’m questioning who I am now.
